so do you do any kind of regular exercise
uh what i do most regular is swim lap swimming
uh
and um of course i've been indoors a lot lately we've been having some really cold weather here but i prefer swimming outdoor
uh-huh
um for the
i think i find the our door atmosphere more inspiring for my exercise really
uh-huh a little less claustrophobic
yeah yeah and um i just thought i always fill a little more lively um i think when i the times when i do
uh-huh
or wouldn't having to pass on to the gym maybe to work with weight the weight machine um
uh-huh
it just a little more spacious yeah like you said claustrophobic
uh-huh
what do you do for exercise
well very little lately what i do i walk about a mile to the bus
well that a mile a good way each way
in the morning yeah and
and then then a mile back
well that's good two miles a day is nothing to at
it's it's a lot better then nothing i think
oh yeah i've just recently um something i tried to incorporate into life style just recently is walking when i'm going short distances like when i'm at work if i'm going to go to a restraint for lunch just choosing one close enough to walk
uh-huh
yeah that's nice i think it really clears your head a little bit
yeah and i think one of the um probably i i think
that one of the most important thing about enjoying your exercise and getting it regularly just to have it in your life style like and not be like
uh-huh
six o'clock at night and well now i've got to go
well that's one that's one reason i actually do the walking where i tried other thing is it has a point to it
oh
yeah
it's really is part of what i need to do anyway you know i need to get to the bus
yeah and it's finite too you know you eventually reach the bus you don't reach your two miles and say well i really should walk that extra mile
it's find i right
right right it's something i had to do where when i tried you know running around the track i felt just a little pointless
yeah
and it was very easy to avoid
yeah
um
very easy
and i'm i'm trying to do some um
some you know calisthenic type thing at home
oh are you really
but it's very easy to avoid
yeah
um one calisthenic type thing that i i feel like i i feel like i have gotten to do and eventually with out having to think about it do is
just squatting down when i going to pick something up instead of bending over at the waist
uh
ooh
and um i can i think i fill like i can already tell the difference in my thighs just i have a little more definition
that's very interesting something probably better for you anyway
yeah and i
yeah and that what that what started it with a little bit of back trouble i was having and of course i didn't want to do leg lift or anything
yes
right are those are then of the painful and sort of artificial category
that's right that's right
well i was just i one of the issues i want to do is try to avoid some back pain or try to
i mean i have it every once and a while and i know when i do this exercise i don't get it which is it call it crunches
yeah
oh yeah
we kind of do a sit-ups
yes
together i'm just going to ignore that call waiting if you heard it
yeah
okay um
yeah where you sort of try to put ribcage into your pelvis and do it over and over again
that would defiantly fall in the unnatural category
yes it does it does and i always find a good reason not to do it
um
yeah
but i can tell that i haven't done it
no
this girlfriend of mines got a pretty flat stomach not i don't really but i don't i was asking her because she does not she's one of those who just doesn't exercise you know
uh-huh
and um but she said she you know just you know hold her stomach in all day i mean you know just constantly holds it in all day
oh yes i trying to decided if that was good or not good
well i'm sure it would be good for your back it seems like it might impede impede you know impede your breathing a little bit in less really use to it
uh-huh um
what do you think
yeah i i mean i found myself doing it
i mean i sort of been in that habit through out my life and lately it's uh lately it's not
oh really
hasn't been happen quit as much
yeah i i was in it for a while um
when i was in high school i took um choral and you have to hold your you know just to regulate your breathing you had
uh-huh you don't stand very carefully
yeah but i found like the top half of my stomach above above my belly button was
getting you know was always tone but then the the trouble spot below the belly button
never never quit tone you know and you know that was the part i was concern about so i just blew it all off all together
uh-huh uh-huh
yeah
yeah um and what else lately along with the crunches i was trying to do some push-ups
oh really
uh well my wife is
we're expecting a baby in May
oh
and i know that from the last time what she really like is to have a lot of very hard back rubs during the whole thing and i'm just not ready for it
uh-huh
and i thought well if i can do a bunch of push-up then i should be able to get through these this time
but uh i have the problem now where we have a son who is almost three
and he think that it is great fun to try to climb on my back while i'm doing the push-up so
well that could you know slow you down a little bit it's just that extra resistance and
it's slows me down a little it makes each one a little more meaningful but i can't quit do any
um do you do any exercises for your hand the little muscle in your hand
um
no what what what are you thinking
